Bristol Light Festival is a free event which fills the city with light and colour, showcasing Bristol as the vibrant, playful and creative city that we know and love.
The festival was open between 5pm – 10pm each evening from 2rd – 11th February 2024.
Printed maps were available from any of the installation points and stewards at each installation to assist.
We use the website what3words.com to help with finding each location. You can find the ‘what three words’ location of each installation on the printed map and on our website.
For the 2024 festival, there was an Information Hut on Queen Square, where visitors could ask questions about the event and receive help from the festival stewards.
This page contains accessibility notes on each of the 2024 installations.
Most of the installations are in the open air, so wrap up warm. We estimate that Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings are quieter nights to attend the festival, whereas Thursday – Sunday will be busier.
All information is for the 2024 festival. Our accessibility guide for 2025 will be released in early 2025.
